Colgate has long focused on sustainability. We have always been dedicated to providing quality products that delight consumers, and we have focused on promoting oral health in communities and improving our operational efficiency for decades. Colgate’s values of Caring, Continuous Improvement, and Global Teamwork go hand-in-hand with the idea of sustaining our business and the planet for generations to come. In 2008, we organized our sustainability efforts under the three pillars of People, Performance and Planet. In 2010, we developed the next phase of sustainability commitments, our 2011 to 2015 Sustainability Strategy, with focused measurable goals aligned with business objectives. These commitments reflect the global challenges and opportunities that are material to Colgate and to our stakeholders. We have made great strides toward our 2015 sustainability goals, and today Colgate people around the world continue their hard work to meet those goals. As we move closer to 2015, the need for environmental, economic and social sustainability in our world has nev-er been greater. Colgate people have once again come together to renew our sustainability strategy with commit-ments for the coming years that are in line with the needs of our times.

Colgate’s Sustainability Journey

Giving the World Reasons to Smile

2015 -2020 Sustainability Strategy

People

In the area of People, we will continue to promote healthier lives for our employees and their families, with a stronger focus on providing op-portunities for healthy activity and personal wellbeing. We have expanded our goal for the number of chil-dren reached with our “Bright Smiles, Bright Futures” oral health education program, to a total of 1.3 billion children by 2020. We will also help our employees give back to the community through volunteer opportunities throughout the Colgate world.

Performance

In the area of Performance, we will work to-ward an improved sustainability profile across all new products and product updates. We will continue to increase the recycled content and recyclability of our packaging, invest $250 million to research break-through sustainability innovation and focus on reaching the underserved in emerging markets with affordable health and wellness products.

Planet

Our commitment to protecting the Planet has enabled us to reduce energy and water use and achieve financial savings for over a decade. We now pledge to reduce carbon emissions on an absolute basis by 25 percent by 2020 compared to 2002, with a longer term goal of a 50 percent reduction by 2050. These goals will allow us to play our part in limiting global warming to 2°C, as recommended by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. We have also published a No-Deforestation Policy, outlining our commitments to sustainably source forest commodities in order to protect biodiversity and limit climate change. These climate and no-deforestation targets are includ-ed in our new commitments.

Committed to Our Future

Reaching our goals will be challenging, but we are confident that with these commitments we will extend our over-200-year legacy of Giving the World Reasons to Smile for years to come.

Colgate’s 2015 to 2020 Strategy maintains its emphasis on People, Performance and Planet, with focused, measur-able goals that align with the Company’s business objectives.
